Wynton Marsalis plays as other members of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra look on. The group has been performing around the world and participating in educational programs for 25 years. They will play a concert at Merrill Auditorium at 8 p.m. Friday as part of their 25th anniversary tour.
By Ray Routhier
Staff Writer
Victor Goines thinks a big part of his job is teaching people about jazz.
That's not to say that if you see Goines in concert -- he plays saxophone in the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra -- he'll stop in the middle of a riff and pass out textbooks or announce a pop quiz on the collected works of Louis Armstrong.
No, for Goines, jazz education is all about playing. He thinks exposure to the music in all its forms is the best way for people to understand what it is: a uniquely American art form.
"It's definitely a music that's always evolving, that has not reached its final stage. It has a history, but it is not history," said Goines, 51, a native of New Orleans. "It lives in the present but moves forward. I think when people don't understand this, it's about a lack of exposure, and we here in the U.S. could do a better job exposing this music to our kids."
The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis has been performing around the world and participating in educational programs for the past 25 years. The current 25th anniversary tour includes a sold-out show at Portland's Merrill Auditorium on Friday.
Goines and the group's leader, Marsalis, have known each other since kindergarten in New Orleans. They both grew up in a place where jazz was everywhere, in families that treasured it and played it.
But Goines always saw music and education -- playing and teaching -- as going hand-in-hand. He had a high school music teacher who also taught math, and he thought that was a good combination. So he started his career as a high school math teacher.
"I just always wanted to be both, a great player and a great teacher, and because I had a teacher like that, I figured it could be done," said Goines.
The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra began in 1987 with trumpeter Marsalis and surviving members of the Duke Ellington Big Band. The orchestra performs a wide variety of jazz, from New Orleans roots music to bebop and modern jazz.
The current 27-city tour features music made famous by John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Gerry Mulligan and others.
Besides playing and touring in the Lincoln Center group, Goines is director of jazz studies at Northwestern University near Chicago. But he is very grateful also to be able to play with such talented musicians as the ones in the Lincoln Center orchestra, of which he has been a member since 1993.
"To have this kind of friendship within a group, as Wynton and I have had for so long, is pretty rare, and I'm thankful for it," said Goines. "And in this group, playing with some of the greatest musicians in the world, allows us all together to play some of the most challenging pieces."
But that doesn't mean the group only plays things that other musicians would dig.
"We don't just play what we like," he said. "If what we're playing doesn't keep our audiences engaged, we'll change midstream."
At the show in Portland, Goines said people can expect to hear jazz standards from the likes of Duke Ellington and Count Basie, plus new original compositions and new arrangements of older tunes.
For Goines, it doesn't matter when a jazz tune was written and first performed.
"Because all jazz is modern," he said.

Sporty Zip Pants 66 66
Love the Material The size and fit is a little tricky for a 5'4" person. The regular is really long and the petite is a little bit short. I kept the petite, when traveling I wear mostly flats anyway. The material is really light and forgiving, BUT it does wrinkle. Not so that it is really awful looking, and with the matching jacket it is a really cute outfit. Easy to wash in sink, and dry overnight. Will be good for spring, summer, and fall traveling. April 17, 2014
Pleased Fit in regular medium was very good. I'm 5'5", 140 lbs and pants required no adjustment. The first time I wore them I dripped chili on them. It wiped right off and, with just a bit of water on the spot, left no stain at all. For the price the fabric does wrinkle more then I expected but certainly not enough to return. Worn with the jacket it makes an attractive, very comfortable outfit.. April 13, 2014
Love the fabric Bought this with the matching jacket. Nicely made and fabric has the look and feel of silk. Have not worn it yet, but fabric appears highly wrinkle resistant. The front crease is stitched, giving it a crisp look. I hope it holds up well in laundering. April 3, 2014
Not pleased It didn't fit quite right. Seems cheap, wrinkled. Returned it. Good service, though. April 3, 2014
Material changed I have bought two of these in the past and loved them. When I found out that they now came in two more colors, I ordered two more pair. I do like them although they are now in a different material that is thinner and shows wrinkles. Also, the newer slacks run a little smaller. The slacks are still very comfortable and fold up very flat which is great when packing for a trip. March 28, 2014
nice, but....... I ordered this set, pants and jacket. Love the color, love the fit and material, except for one thing. I wish they wouldn't put pockets on the side seams of the pants. They buckle after a while and are awkward. You cant really put anything in them, because it would show in this thin material. Sorry to have to send it back. The jacket was nice, but I wanted the set. so it goes back too.. March 19, 2014
Easy to wear, wash and dry These pants are light weight, comfortable, and can be dressed up or down. Perfect for cars, planes, ships and day tours. February 28, 2014
Travel must Great for travel. Glad I ordered early as had to exchange for a larger size. February 26, 2014

TELLURIDE – They may have started out as baskets, but these days, the beneficiaries of Telluride's Angel Baskets program actually receive large overstuffed boxes filled to the brim with holiday goodies and necessities.
Likewise, the program itself has expanded in size and scope over the years, from a modest holiday program founded in 1981 to provide food and gifts for eight local families to a robust, multifaceted year-round mobilization effort serving over 200 families in San Miguel County, the west end of Montrose County and the Dove Creek area of Dolores County.
Beginning in 2008, when the economy nose-dived and the numbers of needy families in the region multiplied exponentially, Angel Baskets expanded its holiday program to embrace this broader geographic area, and also began stocking four food banks in the region. A School Supply Program, Elder Apothecary Program, and Elder Food Gift Certificate Program round out the ambitious parameters of the program today.
But Angel Baskets' flagship mission continues to be its annual effort to assemble and distribute Christmas presents to families who apply and qualify through Social Services and other community organizations such as WIC (Women, Infants and Children).
Each family member may request a needed gift – usually warm clothing, a toy or a household item. Some of last year's requested items included a space heater, warm socks for an entire family, and hospital gowns for a bedridden individual.
"We go out of our way to make sure they get what they ask for," Angel Baskets board member Nancy Talmey said.
These special requests are purchased by Angel Baskets volunteers using donated money, or are distributed to community members who take responsibility for buying gifts and returning them to Angel Baskets headquarters for distribution.
Talmey is excited about Angel Basket's "terrific location" this year on Colorado Avenue in the old Obama headquarters at 129 W. Colorado. Community residents are encouraged to stop by starting on Dec. 3 and pick up an angel gift request from a needy family in the area.
Gifts can be brought in unwrapped or wrapped. The deadline for bringing items back is Dec. 17. Angel Baskets volunteers will then assemble boxes with the requested items as well as food, toys, filler gifts, and gift certificates to each family's closest grocery store. Each Angel Basket also includes a special "family gift" for the household. Last year, it was new towels and blankets. This year, "It's a surprise."
"We anticipate 600-700 people will qualify for Angel Baskets this year," said Talmey. The group will prepare over 200 "baskets" which will be distributed to households from Telluride to the Utah border.
It's an ambitious mission. "We need volunteers to come in and help us," Talmey stressed.
Angel Baskets is unique in that it provides a direct link between those in need and those who want to help them. As an all-volunteer 501 (c) 3 organization with no overhead expenses and no paid staff, which every donation made to Angel Baskets has a direct impact on the lives of the people the organization serves.
"They are an incredible group of people, who devote endless time to help the community," said San Miguel County Social Services Director Allan Gerstle of the Angel Baskets volunteers, some of whom he has worked with for close to three decades. "I love them all. They are remarkable. They are the angels."
The group knows it is making a difference, because its grateful beneficiaries say so. Talmey shared a recent thank you letter.
"Dear Angel Basket Ladies:
I'm so glad I know who to thank for all the wonderful food we get. My family has benefitted so much from your kindness & generosity. Life is hard and kindnesses like yours helps us keep our chins up. It may encourage you to know that my husband & I are both disabled. We have 2 teenagers & my husband is a former Marine. We have struggled through 4 surgeries this past year & even ran out of propane once this winter. We do not smoke, drink, own a computer or other electronic gadgets & my car is 16 years old. I say this just to remind you that some of us are good people who have just fallen on hard times. God has used you to help provide for us.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I can never repay you for your kindness so I'm asking God too. Bless you all!"
Stop by Angel Basket headquarters at 129 W. Colorado Avenue to pick up an angel gift request. The deadline for returning gifts is Dec. 17.
Alternatively, donate to Angel Baskets online at www.tellurideangelbaskets.org or mail a check to ANGEL BASKETS, P.O. Box 22000, PMB 574, Telluride Colorado 81435.
There are also other ways to donate to Angel Baskets' cause. The Telluride Marshal's Department is sponsoring "Tickets for Toys," where anyone who has a parking ticket can pay with a toy of equal or greater value which will be donated to Angel Baskets.
Likewise, Wilkinson Library has a "Food for Fines" program whereby library patrons can donate non-perishable food items for the local food bank in lieu of paying accumulated library fines.
TELLURIDE – They may have started out as baskets, but these days, the beneficiaries of Telluride's Angel Baskets program actually receive large overstuffed boxes filled to the brim with holiday goodies and necessities.

The deal, which Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia first reported, will be worth $2.5 million with the chance for Lannan to earn up to $5 million based on incentives. Lannan, 28, started 134 games for the Nationals, including Opening Day in 2009 and 2010. Livan Hernandez Lannan spent much of the 2012 season with Triple-A Syracuse and went 4-1 with a 4.13 ERA in six major league starts. Washington didn't tender him a contract at the Nov. 30 deadline.

Stairs for Dogs and Pet Steps
Pet Steps & Stairs for a Puppy or Older Dog Dog
Dog steps are a way for your pet to safely get on or off of the couches and beds they like to sleep on. The Talia Dog Boutique carries LouisDog steps, which are both stylish and durable. For small dogs or a growing puppy, steps help them get safely onto furniture without them missing their mark and falling to the ground in a painful heap. For older dogs, even larger breeds, jumping off of furniture can be a risk due to the age of their joints. Many dogs, especially larger breeds, are susceptible to cruciate ligament tears in their knees. These can be painful injuries that are expensive to repair. By having quality dog stairs with cushioned steps, you can help lower the risks of such injuries and avoid an expensive bill from the vet. LouisDog dog steps are among the most popular brands because they don't look anything like plain wood stairs. Your puppy or beloved dog will feel like they're being pampered as they walk their personal staircase.

Daily Links at CSW | Issue 5 | Monday, 8 March 2010
As the US delegation circulated a resolution on maternal mortality at the Beijing+15 review Friday, activists from around the globe called on governments to accompany this with strong language on sexual and reproductive rights.
According to Maria Antonieta Alcalde of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) Latin America desk, the narrow focus on maternal health ignores the root causes of why so many women die at child birth, including early marriages, botched illegal abortions, and poor sexual and reproductive health advisory services.
"When you only target maternal mortality it's as though the only thing women want is not to die," she told a lunch forum. "Women also want access to sexual and reproductive health services and information that empowers them to make choices."
Stressing that this had been a tough battle in the formulation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), she said a resolution that only dealt with maternal health ignored key contextual and rights based arguments. Clause 5b of the MDGs enhances the commitment to reduce by three quarters, between 1990 and 2015, the maternal mortality ratio by committing states to achieve, universal access to reproductive health services.
"The resolution should include comprehensive access to sexual and reproductive health services, not just preventing maternal mortality," she said. While it is understandable that governments are now anxious about not achieving the MDG goal on reducing maternal mortality with the ten-year review coming up in September, the Beijing+15 review must be used to press home the twin demand for sexual and reproductive rights she declared amid applause.

As White as the Snow
That's how clean you'll feel after using Goatboy soap. The Agee family of New Milford, Connecticut, creates these bars with milk from their small herd of dairy goats. Goat's milk is known as an excellent moisturizer and as a good cleanser for sensitive skin, due to a low pH. The slight acidity helps kill bacteria and helps balance the soap's alkalinity for gentle cleaning. Goatboy soap lathers up well, and the fragrances are authentic — the lavender actually smells like lavender from the fields. There are 29 different scents, plus unscented, offered in 4.5-ounce bars ($5). Our favorites are Serious Citrus, Red Clover Tea, and Lavender Oatmeal. 860-350-0676. goatboy.us

Soggy weather is expected for the beginning of the weekend in central North Carolina and some of that rain will linger into Easter Sunday.
Friday was a day off for many, but it was filled with clouds and highs in the 60s. The Triangle made it up to 63 while Fayetteville made it up to 66. The normal high for this time of year is 73.
Late Friday, rain from a low pressure storm system along the Gulf Coast will move in and bring wet weather to all of central North Carolina most of the day Saturday, including early Saturday morning. Temperatures will start off Saturday in the mid 40s.
Check out Futurecast and see exactly what North Carolina weather will be like in the next 24 hours
That low pressure system will move up the southeast Atlantic coast Saturday and keep our skies cloudy with rain likely. With the rain cooled air, highs will only be in the mid to upper 50s with breezy conditions.
The low will move very slowly out to sea late Saturday night and will keep mostly cloudy skies over central North Carolina into Easter Sunday. Easter will be a little warmer with a high of 66 and a slight chance of rain in the morning. Some sun could filter in during the day, mainly north and west of the Triangle. Even though there will be clouds, sunrise will be 6:36 on Easter for any sunrise services and temperatures will be in the upper 40s.
Easter Monday will be mostly sunny with highs finally reaching the lower 70s. A cold front could give us a couple of showers by Tuesday afternoon with a mixture of clouds and some sun. Highs on Tuesday will be 75. Behind the front, skies will clear and highs will be in the lower to middle 70s, which is right where we normally are for this time of year.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.—Sacramento County authorities have arrested an 18-year-old man in connection with the fatal shooting of his father.
Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Jason Ramos says the teen was arrested after 911 dispatchers received a call from a man who claimed to have shot his father.
Ramos told the Sacramento Bee ( http://bit.ly/VABvZV) that when deputies arrived at the Rosemont apartment the teen told deputies he was the one person who had made the call.
When deputies went inside the apartment they found the victim dead of a single gunshot wound. Deputies also found a gun they believed was used in the shooting.
Authorities have not released the names of the son, or of his father. A motive for the shooting has not been determined.

User's Guide & Quick Start Guide
This is my second Motorola monitor, the last one is 4 years old and still going strong but needed another and this one is even better as it doesn't have any wires so just plugs into a socket, very pleased
Just what I was looking for. A no fuss product that's easy to use and look after. Compact and space saving plugs straight into socket
This product is very simple and easy to use. The lights display reflects the amount of sound and brings peace of mind. The one downfall is that is must be plugged to a socket at all times so on some occasions I have wished that I had bought portable rechargeable monitors.
I plug it in on my landing so it picks up both baby & toddler during afternoon nap. At night I use it in the baby room & night light is a great bonus. I like how its so easy to set up by just plugging straight into mains & switching on. Best one we've had.
I'm a nanny and have two of these monitors to use at work as often found that parents don't have a monitor in each young Childs bedroom only in the babys room. For my own piece of mind I take my own monitors. These are Fab especially for the price. I've used many monitors over the years and these are up there with the very expensive ones! Recommend to all my parents and grandparents!

The Catholic intellectual tradition is a 2,000 year-old conversation about the deepest questions that haunt the human spirit: questions about life's meaning and purpose; questions about the nature and character of God; questions about what contributes to human happiness and what constitutes a just society. The 800 year-old Franciscan tradition in education is a critically important voice in this centuries-long conversation. Born of the insights of Saints Francis and Clare of Assisi, and shaped by the example of their extraordinary lives, the Franciscan tradition took root in the great medieval universities of Europe where it was nourished by the insights of renowned friar-scholars and teachers. It was transplanted to the Americas by Franciscan missionaries who established the first institution of higher learning in the New World in 1536. It continues to inform the mission of Siena College and 21 other Franciscan colleges and universities in the United States.
At Siena, this tradition of intellectual inquiry and spirituality is distinguished by the following features.

August 10, 2012
A local radio host has apologized to congressional candidate John Douglass and other veterans who he says may have been offended after a tangent on his radio show last week.
WINA's Rob Schilling apologized on Friday's show for comments he says may have been misunderstood. Last week, Schilling called Douglass, a Democrat and retired brigadier general, a "chickenhawk" and "dupe."
"He'll fight for us, the chickenhawk who's too scared to come on the Schilling Show, a brigadier general. Yeah, he's afraid," Schilling said on his Aug. 2 show. "And the reason he's afraid -- and maybe he's a very nice guy, I don't know, I've never met him personally -- but he's a dupe. And he stands for absolutely nothing."
Schilling went on to call Douglass a "crook." The comments began when Schilling made the argument that a number of Democratic veterans are running for Congress in Virginia while trying to appear more conservative to gain more votes.
Veterans who support Douglass are calling on incumbent Robert Hurt, a Republican, to denounce Schilling's statements even though the congressman had nothing to do with the comments and did not appear on the show on that date.
"We agree with others who have spoken out and hope that our opponent and the radio station will take appropriate action," Douglass spokesman Chase Winder said in a statement. "Future appearances on Schilling's show will only serve to condone his continued attacks."
The Hurt campaign also responded to the controversy.
"Robert has the highest respect for every person who has served and who currently serves in our armed forces. Robert's record in the United States Congress clearly shows this support for these brave men and women," the statement from the campaign reads. "While journalists and outside groups may be entitled to their own views, they do not speak for Robert or our campaign."
Schilling addressed his prior comments on Friday's show, saying he apologizes to Douglass and other veterans who may have been offended.

ISSUE: Snow day decisions
OUR VIEW: Better safe than sorry
When it comes to the safety of our children, our local school districts should live by a simple motto: Better safe than sorry.
So when officials from Hardin County, Elizabethtown Independent and LaRue County schools decide whether to have school on snowy days, we trust that those officials are living by that motto and doing what is best for the thousands of children who will be in their care when they step onto one of their school buses.

Wow, I was *thisclose* to having to pull for Lane Kiffin at USC. Thanks to Stanford, now I don't have to.
When Texas A&M upset Alabama a weekend ago, the SEC needed some breaks if it was going to capture another national championship banner.
First, the league needed for Alabama to stay within the top four and not drop deeper down into the BCS standings well. That happened as Bama fell only to #4. Second, the SEC needed at least two of the three teams ahead of Alabama to lose over the course of the regular season's final two weeks. And darned if two of those three didn't lose on Saturday night!
The current BCS standings now shape up as follows:
1. Notre Dame — The Irish play at Southern Cal on Saturday, but the Trojans will be without starting quarterback Matt Barkley.
2. Alabama – The Tide finish the season at home against 3-8 Auburn and will then face…
3. Georgia – In the SEC Championship game. The Dawgs close out the season with a visit from Georgia Tech this weekend.
4. Florida -- The Gators face #10 Florida State in Tallahassee on Saturday. Whether starting quarterback Jeff Driskel will be back from an ankle injury remains a mystery this morning.
5. Oregon – The Ducks might be this year's Alabama as there's a chance they could lose their own Pac-12 North Division and still get voted into the national title game through a series of upsets and outside help.
6. Kansas State – The Wildcats are probably done, barring a long series of miracles.
LSU is ranked #7, Texas A&M #9, and South Carolina #12 in the latest standings.
As for the BCS Championship Game picture, it appears as though Notre Dame is in with a win over disappointing Southern Cal in LA. Then, barring a massive upset by either Auburn or Georgia Tech, the SEC Championship Game winner — either Alabama or Georgia — will most likely face the Irish in Miami with a chance to collect a seventh straight BCS crown for the SEC.
But if Notre Dame loses to Southern Cal, then things could get tricky. A one-loss SEC champ would reach Miami but who would that team face? If Florida downs Florida State, the Gators would make the most sense. Impressive on offense or not, UF would have come through the SEC with just one loss and knocked off rival FSU on the road.
But would voters who make up about two-thirds of the BCS formula really set up an SEC versus SEC title game for the second year in a row?
If Notre Dame loses, if the SEC produces a one-loss champ, and if Florida tops Florida State, we believe the voters might jump the Ducks above the Gators in order to prevent another all-SEC showdown. So even though Florida outranks Oregon right now, if both teams go unbeaten the rest of the way and if Notre Dame loses to open a slot in the BCS title game, we believe Oregon would be the most likely opponent for Alabama or Georgia in Miami, not the Gators.
Either way, the SEC went from the outside looking in to the inside looking out in one evening with the nation's top two teams both falling on Saturday.
Unless there are massive upsets on the horizon, Mike Slive's league looks like it's in good shape to get another crack at the national crown. And with a break or two, it's theoretically possible — though we think doubtful — that the league could put two teams in the BCS Championship.

350 Ocean Ave, Laguna Beach, CA | Directions 9265133.544754 -117.782753
Monday To Friday From 07:00 AM To 04:30 PM Saturday To Sunday From 07:00 AM To 05:00 PM
Small Place, Big Surprise – We ended up eating here for breakfast one Sunday afternoon after another place didn't work out. We were plesantly surprised. I love breakfast, but I get bored of the typical eggs and bacon fare at so many restaurants. Zinc offered everything from open face fritattas (thats what I got, it was great) to scrambled eggs with leeks and cream, served with fire roasted salsa (my mom ordered-very good also). The prices are very reasonable, about $8 for the eggs, some fruit, and a bagel with very good jam. Frittata was about $8 also, served with half an avocado with some kind of salsa inside. Even the waffle was "jazzed up" a bit, served with orange butter. Although we were set on getting breakfast, the lunch options looked very good also; Gourmet sandwiches like buffalo mozzarella and basil caught my eye, and all are served on fresh Cest Ce Bon bread. Although the service wasn't overly friendly, it was very prompt, and the outside seating was very pleasant.
We just browsed the market area, but it was reminiscent of the little cheese markets you stumble upon in Europe. There was a good selection of cheeses, numerous salads and by-the-pound entrees available, a choice of beers and wine that you can have corked for your meal if you want. Also some great looking pastries. The flourless chocolate cake grabbed my attention, but there are only two slice style pastries available daily, and that wasn't one-- guess Ill have to go back!
Superb Cafe and Market! – Zinc Cafe and Market has been serving Laguna locals for eighteen years and they have been doing it well! You can always find something new and interesting in their market, from gifts to home cooking solutions. They are fantastic at making sure you get great service every time! Long lines are always prevelant, but it is always worth the wait!
Healthy minded gourmets fill up on organic breakfasts and lunches at this alfresco beachside fave. – The Scene
Order at the counter, then grab a table on the large, leafy patio or settle for one of a handful indoors. This hyper-friendly eatery is as natural as the all-age Laguna locals who regularly camp out here, some with the whole family. Dress down to scarf up healthy treats, then fill a market basket with gourmet goodies from the adjacent market.
The Food
These all-American dishes only taste like they're bad for you. Airy, spinach lasagna relies on little more than ricotta and seasonings for pizzazz; robust stuffed peppers get help from creamy Swiss chard, brown rice and spices. Daily rotations of soup, such as Tustin white bean, are always fresh and light. The dense veggie burger's only fault is its too-thick La Brea bun--add some vegetarian chili with beans for balance. Refreshing, yogurt-ginger-pineapple smoothies compete with plump, lemon-iced pecan cookies and fresh fruit tarts to satisfy sweet teeth.
Zinc - Less than expected – Thought the long line to get in was indicative of good food inside, but we were wrong. All meals (sandwiches, salads, etc.) although gourmet priced, are pre-made and plastic wrapped. If you want mustard instead of mayo on your sandwich you are out of luck! Although it was early in the day, many items were sold out, but not crossed off the menu board, and the cashier made it obvious that he did not want to wait for us to choose a different meal even after we'd stood in line for 15+ minutes. The staff were having a fine time among themselves, but generally ignored the customers. The food was mediocre, as you'd expect from premade food that's been sitting in the refrigeration case. There are so many great restauarants in the area don't waste your time and money here.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — LAWRENCE — Eight dead cats have been found in a city neighborhood during the last two weeks, prompting a police investigation into who is killing them and why.
The cats, which at first appeared to have all been poisoned, were found in the Lowell and Greenwood streets area. A deceased cat found last Wednesday was sent for a necropsy to determine the cause of death.
Police Chief John Romero said this morning that the results of the necropsy show the cat died from a fractured skull.
"There was no poison in the animal," he said. "It has a hematoma and a fractured skull. It's suspicious, and not consistent with being hit by a car. We believe someone may be going around hitting these animals with some kind of blunt instrument."
He said while police are not completely rulilng out the possibility that some of the cats were poisoned, he said it seems likely that if one of the cats died from some kind of "blunt trauma," the other cats may have died in the same way.
"It takes a very deranged person to be poisoning cats," Romero said in a story in today's editions of The Eagle-Tribune.
Not only is it downright cruel, but some individuals who abuse animals also go on to commit violent acts against humans, Romero said.
"Somebody who does this to defenseless animals, in this case eight cats, has some serious aggression issues. The question is whether that aggression can escalate. You just don't know," Romero said.
Last Wednesday, city Animal Control Officer Ellen Bistany received a call about a dead cat on the sidewalk at Lowell and Greenwood streets.
As Bistany got out of her car, a local woman "asked me if I thought it was strange there were so many deceased cats in the area lately." Bistany agreed it was and that she would investigate, she wrote in her report.
Bistany said the dead cat was black with white marks on his paws. There were "no visible signs of being struck by a car, no visible blood or dismemberment." Bistany noted this was the eighth dead cat she had found in that neighborhood in 14 days. Similarly, the seven other cats "have had no visible signs of being struck by a car. They all appeared intact," she wrote.
She also walked the area, checking for any signs of chemicals or other hazardous materials that could have harmed the cats. Nothing was found.
Romero stressed he was concerned about the "defenseless animals."
"It may be nothing more than someone who dislikes cats. But cruelty to animals is a felony," he said.
The necropsy was performed at Johnson Animal Hospital in Lawrence.

Talk:Los Santos Police Department (HD Universe)
this wiki
Back to page | Redirected from Talk:LSPD in HD Era
Female Police OfficersPeople think that there will be female police officers because they have seen a screenshot of one. Sure this could be true but if nobody else noticed, there is also a screenshot of a female police officer in the GTA San Andreas screenshots. Here it is!
Yes, the female police officers appears for both GTA San Andreas and GTA V only in artwork, not in actual gameplay screenshots. If in the end there are no females, I believe we might include this in the Trivia section: "Altough there is artwork decipting a female police officer, there is no such woman in the game, similar to GTA San Andreas.". Until then, we shouldn't take this artwork as valuable game information. Eruul2012 (talk) 08:58, December 30, 2012 (UTC)
Good job on this. Far much better than that idiotic LSPD page that added loads of rumors a few months ago. --Zulu2065 (talk) 18:53, January 18, 2013 (UTC)--
Just been researching and there is one police woman in San Andreas. That is the potential girlfriend of CJ called Barbara Schternvart who you find outside a police station, although the artwork looks nothing like her. LS11sVaultBoy (talk) 18:59, January 18, 2013 (UTC)
There are gonna be female cops in GTA V, in the first trailer one can be seen and the Preorder poster has a Female cop named Vasquez. This should be noted. Matt Seay (talk) 21:28, April 13, 2013 (UTC)
We need to find the proper logo, any info just post here, thanks... Massionet51 (talk) 17:38, October 11, 2013 (UTC)
Anybody notice how fucking hard the cops are??? Hamodey1 (talk) 19:24, November 30, 2013 (UTC)

About Me Recreational Archer
what can be said about a seperator? its seperates the string, stays in place and stores easily in your bow case. for a few bucks you got what you need. why bother with anything more 'spensive?
good idea, but not necessary
By Adam X
from West Virginia
About Me Expert Archer
This is a good design, but not needed to install string silencers securely. I've had just as good results using a toothpick to spread the string strands, and then using Dale's instructional video.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Stream Energy / Ignite Wins Entrepreneur Award from SMU
11-21-2008 – The Stream Energy / Ignite family has been selected as one of the Top Ten honorees of the Dallas 100™ Entrepreneur Awards, presented by the Southern Methodist University Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship on November 20 at a gala celebration and dinner in Dallas.
Jerry F. White, Director of the Dallas 100 Entrepreneur Awards, said Stream Energy / Ignite was chosen because it is among Dallas' fastest growing, most dynamic privately held companies.
Since it was licensed by the Texas Public Utilities Commission as a Retail Electric Provider in early 2005, Stream Energy, along with its marketing arm Ignite, has grown from 65,000 customers in its first year of business to approximately 330,000 today. The company, which received permission to market natural gas in Georgia this year, reached $1 billion in total revenues during 2008.
Stream Energy's success is attributable to a full-service approach to customer relationships, supported by a customer-advantageous pricing model and the company's network marketing subsidiary, Ignite.
Through Ignite's marketing plan, individuals serving as Independent Associates market Stream Energy's products to friends and family members. This approach has resulted in unprecedented growth for Stream Energy and Ignite, and has created an important outlet where individuals can earn income.
The honor from the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University is the latest recognition of Stream Energy and Ignite's phenomenal record of success during the past four years.
Stream Energy was a recipient of the Greater Dallas Chamber of Commerce Momentum Award in 2007 for its significant contributions to the area workforce. The company's employee rolls have grown from 114 in 2005 to more than 340 today.
Other recent accolades include the 2008 Entrepreneur of the Year Award for the Southwest Region by Ernst & Young and The Dallas Morning News' recognition of the company as among the 50 largest private companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. Stream Energy has also twice been named a finalist for the prestigious international Platts Global Energy Rising Star Award (2007 and 2008).
Stream Energy Co-founders Rob Snyder and Pierre Koshakji received the entrepreneur award from SMU during special ceremonies and a gala dinner at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center.

20 Questions with Rex Boynton, President N.A.T.E.
Originally published: 03.01.07 by Terry Tanker
North American Technician Excellence (NATE) is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. NATE's president, Rex Boynton, met with publisher Terry Tanker in Washington, D.C. to discuss the past, present, and future of the organization.
1. What's your worst habit?
Cigars. I love them.
2. What is the last movie you went to see and would recommend?
Invincible starring Mark Wahlberg.
3. What is your favorite hobby?
4. What are the three best restaurants in D.C.?
The Warf, The Warehouse, Ruth's Chris Steak House.
5. What is the one place you don't want to miss when you visit D.C.?
The Kennedy Center.
6. Name one thing you're glad you will never have to do again?
Worry about who to call when my heating/cooling system isn't operating properly.
7. What's the funniest thing that's happened at a NATE board meeting?
Following the relocation of our office, we were forced to hold a meeting in a local hotel. I was really trying to hold the line on our operating expenses, and the meeting room was too small to accommodate our group. Nonetheless, we managed to crowd 40 bodies into a windowless room designed for about 25. The last member arrived late and literally had to force the door open to stick his head into the room. He said, "Well it's clear. We're not wasting money on meeting space".
8. What was your big break in business?
Losing a congressional campaign. I was hired as a campaign manager in 1976. After the loss I was introduced to the trade association business and had some wonderful mentors and great learning opportunities that helped prepare me for life at NATE.
9. How were you tapped to run NATE?
A colleague put me in touch with a search committee that was looking to hire someone to launch a start-up operation focused on setting knowledge standards for hvac technicians. In preparing for the interview, I conducted a telephone survey of contractors. Most said there was a technician shortage, and not a single respondent thought the idea of certification could ever succeed. When I shared these results with the search committee along with my take on their implications, I think they were surprised that I showed up for the interview. In any event, I really hit it off with the search team.
10. Initially, what was the biggest hurdle NATE had to overcome?
Why do it? Technicians and contractors were not convinced it was necessary, and many were afraid to take a test. We attacked their resistance by urging manufacturers to offer incentives to contractors to get their techs certified, we persuaded the training community to develop NATE preparation courses and review materials, and we shared research results that showed consumers really prefer certified technicians.
11. What is the biggest misconception about NATE?
That we are a training organization. NATE is a testing and certification enterprise. We test for the education and training community. We do not offer training. Our tests are developed by industry experts and reflect a consensus of opinion on what a technician needs to know to effectively install and service hvacr systems.
12. Can you tell me about the "Impact Study"?
We identified 40 contractors who were able to track the job performance of 40 pairs of technicians – one who was NATE certified and another who was not. We learned that the NATE-certified techs had 6.8% higher billing efficiency; had 12.9% fewer callbacks; and 28.4% lower warranty expense. These are "homeruns" for contractors.
13. Are pay levels for NATE-certified technicians higher?
NATE-certified technicians make 12.2% more than their non-certified counterparts. This translates into $4,180 annually based on 2,000 hours per year. We think this will be a powerful motivator for technicians to earn certification.
14. It sounds like the labor expense of NATE technicians is higher for the contractor. Is it worth it?
The research shows that when a contractor overlays the higher pay scale of a NATE-certified tech with fewer callbacks, higher billable efficiency, and reduced warranty expense, the potential value is $10,040 annually, per technician!
15. What do consumers know about NATE certification?
We asked consumers if they had heard of technician certification, and roughly 20% said they had, although only a few could name NATE. We probed a little further and introduced them to our brand. Once they learned who we were, 76% said they were interested in using a NATE technician.
16. How can the industry build more demand for NATE certification? Continue to generate awareness among consumers on the importance of technician excellence, its potential value to the environment, energy savings, and indoor comfort.
Manufacturers need to insist that their products are installed and serviced by certified technicians; distributors and utilities need to offer special incentives to encourage certification; and contractors need to make NATE certification a stepping stone to professional growth and reward.
17. Is NATE working on any new tests?
We are finalizing our first senior certification, Efficiency Analyst, which focuses on high efficiency system performance. This exam requires a technician to hold at least one heating and one cooling certification. We are also working on Commercial Refrigeration tests.
18. NATE is celebrating its 10th anniversary; what can we expect to see in the next 10 years?
A continuing commitment to elevate professional standards for technicians across a range of industries; stimulate and promote excellence in the performance of technical work; recognize, recruit, and retain top-quality technicians; and help consumers find the contractors who employ the best technicians.
19. Has the focus of NATE changed any over the last 10 years?
We have always been focused on and committed to stimulating an environment of continuous learning and applied knowledge that leads to excellence in job performance and job satisfaction.
20. What about specific goals?
Our strategic plan sets a goal of 150,000 NATE-certified technicians by the end of the year 2010.

Common Sense
Common sense – it's simply knowing the difference between right and wrong. It entails a personal and subjective process of analyzing a situation and finding a solution that works. For most people I think it's their first instinct, the rational thing they would do without giving the situation a thought. Again, I said for most people.

04-05-2014 05:02 PMMaydayI am humbled before you. I am merely a DVD amateur. You are a true master. Do you actually watch them all, or is the thrill of collecting what motivates you? Just curious. I kinda cut back a bit on my buying because I wasn't finding the time to watch my DVDs like I used to.
04-05-2014 12:31 PMMaydayOMG friggin awesome profile pic! I actually stopped by to say OMFG after seeing the pics of your movie collection, but i'm cracking up now. Anyway, I thought I had a lot of DVDs, but I think I might fill up one or two shelves beyond one of your bookcases. Impressive. Most impressive.
